It is not at all uncommon for very young children to make statements that they wished they were the opposite sex. It happens all the time.Nope. Hope you agree to all those evils except the last one. YOUNG kids are should never be FOCUSED by an authority figure on the sexuality or LGBT issues. THere is ZERO CHANCE that will do ANYTHING, but block out development. Because they'll spend more time contemplating their private parts than learning. Authority figures include parents. Includes teachers.
But your SOLUTION to MAYBE a 0.05% chance that an 8 yr old MIGHT have "identity" issues in the future -- so you expose ALL THE CHILDREN in a classroom to sex/gender indoctrination -- THAT is pure evil..
Intelligent people who are actually concerned with child welfare react to such statements with benign amusement like good people always have. They do not punish and they do not encourage.
It takes a special sort of twisted evil to listen to such words from a 3 year old, and then use adult authority to start confirming and strengthen the notion until the child victim has no other valid choice because they are wanting to please the authority figure.
